Roof leak repair

Three things every homeowner here should know
Roofing in this county is not like roofing anywhere else. These are the rules that decide what a contractor can do and what your insurer will accept.
Every roof is in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone
Miami-Dade and Broward are the HVHZ. Roofing products need a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance (NOA), fastening and underlayment follow stricter rules, and the roof is designed for winds well above 170 mph.
A replacement always needs a permit
Full re-roofs require a county or city permit, several inspections, and the owner signs the county’s roofing notification form. The contractor pulls the permit. Be wary of anyone who offers to skip it.
Roof age drives your insurance
Insurers may require an inspection on a roof that is 15 years or older and can decline coverage if it lacks a few years of useful life. A contractor’s Remaining Useful Life certification, or a new roof with a wind mitigation report, is usually what keeps or lowers a policy.
How it works
Call or send the form
Tell us what you are seeing, what kind of roof you have, and roughly when the house was built or last re-roofed. A photo of the stain or the damage helps.
A local contractor calls you back
An independent roofing contractor who serves your area contacts you to set up a visit. You deal directly with them from here on.
Inspection, quote, permit, work
The contractor inspects the roof, explains what they found, quotes the job, and pulls the permit if the work needs one. Price, timing, and warranty are between you and the contractor.
Miami Roofing Hotline connects homeowners with independent local roofing contractors. We are not a roofing contractor. Service availability, pricing, and timing are determined by the contractor.
What breaks on Miami roofs
The calls we hear most, and what is usually behind them.
- Stain on the ceiling that only appears with wind-driven rain: underlayment under the tile has aged out, or a flashing has opened up.
- Tile cracked or slipped after someone walked on the roof: satellite installers, pressure washers, and tree trimmers are the usual cause.
- Water ponding on a flat section over an addition or Florida room: a drain is clogged or the membrane has settled.
- Shingles curling or losing granules at 12 to 15 years: the South Florida sun shortens what the packaging promised.
- Rust streaks below a valley or around a vent: the metal is corroding, especially near the bay.
- Insurer letter about roof age: the roof needs an inspection and a certification, or it is time to plan a replacement.

About the hotline
Miami Roofing Hotline is a bilingual phone line and website. We connect homeowners in Miami-Dade with independent local roofing contractors and step out of the way. We do not do roofing work, quote jobs, or collect payment. The contractor is responsible for their license, insurance, permit, and workmanship, and you deal with them directly.
Questions people ask
Are you a roofing company?
No. We are a referral line. When you call or send a request, we pass it to an independent roofing contractor who serves your area, and they contact you. We do not perform, price, or warranty any work.
Does a roof repair need a permit in Miami-Dade?
Full replacements always do. Many repairs do too, depending on size and what is being replaced. The contractor knows the threshold for your city or unincorporated county and pulls the permit when one is required.
My insurance company says my roof is too old. What now?
Florida lets insurers ask for an inspection on roofs 15 years or older. A licensed roofing contractor can inspect it and, if it has enough life left, issue a Remaining Useful Life certification you send to the insurer. If it does not, the same contractor can quote a replacement. Ask for the roof-condition inspection when you call.
Do I have to replace the whole roof if more than a quarter is damaged?
Not always anymore. Since 2022, a roof that was built or repaired to the 2007 Florida Building Code or later (generally installed after March 2009) can be repaired section by section. Older roofs may still need a full replacement once repairs pass 25% of a roof section. The contractor and the permit office decide which case yours is.
What does it cost?
We do not set or quote prices. What drives the number: roof type (tile, shingle, flat, metal), size and pitch, whether decking or underlayment needs replacing, the HVHZ-approved materials required, and the permit. The contractor gives you a written quote after seeing the roof.
How do I check that a roofer is licensed?
Florida requires roofing contractors to hold a state license; the number starts with CCC. Ask for it, and verify it on MyFloridaLicense.com. Ask for proof of liability and workers’ compensation insurance too.
Do you help in Spanish?
Yes. The line and this site are in English and Spanish, and contractors who work with us serve Spanish-speaking homeowners.
